In my name = Aramaic Idiom? Matthew 18:5

[judge]

. When we pray with faith and ask in the name of jesus, the bible saids we will have what we ask for.

1 John tells me I can have whatever I ask for in prayer if my heart does not condemn me.

So according to this I need not use the name of Jesus in the way some chose to in the NT.

Which means I dont need to use the name of Jesus in some magic formula way (and Im not saying you suggested this ).

This seems to me, to strengthen my view that it is about the quality of the person not that it is a legal formula.

But if it helps someone elses faith to do so..then go for it I say. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
